New Therapist Starting at Building Blocks!

Building Blocks Family Counseling is excited to introduce Sherri Armitage, LPC.

Get to know Sherri below!

Being from a small town in a rural area, I was not exposed to Counseling. As with most small areas, mental health was ignored, shunned, and shoved under a rug.  Because of this background, I understand just how difficult it can be to ask for help.  My desire is to provide a warm, safe environment for anyone seeking guidance and clarity.

There has always been an innate desire within me to help others.  I originally began my college career with the goal of teaching Special Education, however with my first Psychology class, I realized Counseling was my true calling.

I completed my Bachelor’s in Psychology from Georgia Southern University in 2008. Throughout college I worked largely in childcare, as well as special education classrooms in the school system. At one placement I worked exclusively with children diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum. In 2011, I married the love of my life and graduated with my Masters of Clinical Mental Health Counseling from South University- what a busy year!  Having completed my internship at a Psychiatric and Substance Abuse Stabilization Unit, I realized a passion for those with substance use disorders and severe and persistent mental illnesses. For the past 5 years, I have worked at Recovery Place in Savannah, GA as a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Professional.  I have received training and supervision in treating those with complex issues, including co-occurring disorders and trauma. I also have a very special interest in treating eating disorders.

In 2014 I became mother and knew our life would change drastically, as I wanted to both be a present mother and keep my professional career. Marriage and parenthood have taught me more about myself and life than I ever imagined. “Balance” has become my internal motto, as a I’m ever learning how to manage all that comes with having a family.

If you’ve come to a place where you are struggling to know how to move forward, are feeling run down with life’s challenges, or are just feeling lost on your journey, let me help you brave the path. I look forward to working with you.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in relationship issues in the Pooler, GA area. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology with a minor in Sociology from Valdosta State University in 2008. During this time, I discovered my passion was working with couples and families in a therapeutic setting. This led me to complete my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Valdosta State University in 2010. I specialize in working with couples dealing with premarital issues, infidelity, communication issues, conflict, intimacy issues, parenting, etc. I also work with parents and their children (ages 2-6) experiencing behavior issues. I am currently a level one Gottman trained couples therapist as well as Certified Prepare/Enrich Facilitator. I am also currently working on my PCIT Certified Therapist credential. For more information on Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) see here (link to PCIT service page). I also provide supervision to associate level therapists and am an AAMFT Approved Supervisor.

    • Dear Parent/Guardian:

      Your student has been referred to the School Counseling Telehealth Program with Building Blocks Family Counseling. This is a collaboration between the Effingham School System and Building Blocks Family Counseling- a mental health private practice with locations in Savannah, Pooler, and Rincon.

      How does it work?

      A referral will be sent from your student’s school counselor to Building Blocks. You will receive a call from our office to set up an appointment, get insurance information, complete paperwork, etc. An online intake appointment will be scheduled for your student during the school day (based on times provided by the school counselor). An online intake appointment will also be scheduled between your student’s therapist and yourself to gather information regarding your student. The Therapist will schedule routine parent/guardian check-ins with you and family sessions as needed. Sessions with students will generally be weekly (during school hours) and last for 30-45 minutes. Parent/Guardian sessions can be held during or after school hours and last for 45-50 minutes.

      Paperwork Needed

      In order to provide these services we need the following paperwork completed for each student. A new client intake packet, child/adolescent questionnaire, and a release of information for the school counselor. We will be coordinating sessions with your student through the school counselors at their school so it is important we have the release of information completed.

      Appointments

      Appointment reminders via email, text, and phone will be sent the day before any scheduled appointments. Please make sure we have the best contact information on file so you will receive all of the reminders.

      If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to address these with your therapist. If you feel like your student no longer needs services, please also communicate this with your therapist.
